North Carolina Congress of Colored Parents and Teahers, Inc.

This is a copy of the "BYLAWS North Carolina Congress of Colored Parents and Teahers, Inc."
(As amended at the Annual Convention, November 1953, in Kinston, N.C.)

*This belonged to the grandfather (Rev. G.C. Hawley Principal of G.C. Hawley HS-Creedmnoor, NC), of the Creator and Admin of North Carolina Museum of African Americans' History & Culture*

As I read through this, I realized it's the BYLAWS of the PTA, but for "colored" parents and teachers. So, I had to goggle this to find out more. As with all aspects of our lives, it makes sense that there had to be a separate PTA for the "colored" parents, children and teachers during the time of segregation.

I found several reports and articles that have been written about the separate PTA organizations.
One is very detailed, and as I read through the contents page I was delaighted to see research done with concern about the history and need to combine/unify the PTA

Below I have added the title and contents pages. I will also include a link to the pdf, so that you are able to read through it.
